From circuit boards and switches to control panels and actuators, continuous exposure of these components to grease, oil and soils puts them at risk by compromising their efficiency and lifespan.
But maintaining these sensitive parts isn’t as simple as wiping them down or using just any degreaser. The wrong cleaning method can lead to short circuits, corrosion or residue build-up—potentially causing system failures or costly repairs.
That’s where specialised electrical degreasers come in.
Lexite Extra: Engineered for Electrical Equipment
One of the leading degreasers for electrical maintenance is Lexite Extra, developed by NCH Europe. It’s designed specifically for industrial electrical applications, offering:
- Dielectric strength over 25KV, ensuring it won’t cause electrical faults.
- Fast-drying formulation, evaporates cleanly and quickly allowing immediate use after application.
- Versatile compatibility, protecting circuit boards, switches, sensors and more.
- No need for disassembly, simplifying maintenance tasks by switching off electrics and clean equipment in place.
With Lexite Extra, maintenance teams reduce downtime, extend equipment lifespan and protect valuable assets—while ensuring safe and effective cleaning.
Why electrical components need a specialised degreaser
A proper electrical degreaser must meet key safety and performance criteria:
- High dielectric strength – Ensures safe use on electrical parts. A cleaner with a high dielectric strength will clean without trying to conduct electricity through it.
- Fast evaporation – Quickly dissolves and flushes away grease, oils and soils without disassembly.
- Residue-free cleaning – Leaves no lingering film or deposits that could impact functionality.
- Material compatibility – Good around most delicate components, including plastics, rubber and coatings. Testing on a small area first is still recommended.
Using a non-electrical degreaser can lead to exposure to moisture, conductivity risks and even electrical faults—compromising sensitive systems.
Application areas: where Lexite Extra shines
Electrical degreasers are critical for industrial and commercial settings where precision matters. Lexite Extra is perfect for:
- Industries: Manufacturing, Automotive, Utilities and more
- Applications: Electronic circuitry, motors, television sets, vending machines, telephone systems, computers and beyond
Industries relying on precision—such as manufacturing, automation and security systems—benefit significantly from high-performance electrical degreasers.
Conclusion: investing in the right cleaning solution
Electrical degreasers aren’t all created equal. Selecting a high-dielectric, fast-evaporating, residue-free cleaner ensures safe and efficient equipment maintenance.
